What is CNG???

Compressed Natural Gas or CNG, is one of nature's best untapped energy sources. Unlike fossil fuels, it is constantly produced by the earth and can also me synthesized through chemical processes. Cyber_lot. The technology has been around for decades but until recently has been kept in the closet by big oil! It is one of the fastest growing alternative fuel sources and unlike biodiesel and ethanol (E85), is a viable replacement for petroleum. Within the next 10 years 90% of gov't fleets will be CNG and civilian population will follow over the next 20 yrs.

Why should I buy a CNG/Bi Fuel Vehicle?

SAVE MONEY! CNG is about 1/3 less than reguar unleaded and more stable in price. AS LOW AS 99 CENTS PER GAL IN SOME AREAS!
CNG burns with practically no emissions compared to petroleum fuel so each mile you drive helps the environment....THINK GREEN
CNG is safer (less volatile) than gasoline as it has a higher ignition temp, 1200 deg vs 800 deg.
CNG poses little if any environment risk of contamination and in the event of an accident where tanks are breached, it evaporates into the air with no spill Cyber_lot
CNG fill stations are growing more and more each day. Check the links below for fill station locations across the US.
You can fill up at home using a Phil Fuelmaker device if you have a natural gas line. Cyber_lot No more trips to the gas station. Tax deductible.
Most states allow you to drive solo in the HOV lane.
CNG is not corrosive like gasoline and wears MUCH easier on a motor. Most CNG fueled engines require oil changes less frequently and sparkplugs last almost forever. Overall engine life is usually significantly extended. Cyber_lot
Unlike hybrid electric/gas cars, there are no costly batteries ($6000) to replace
Unlike hybrid electric vehicles, the CNG drivetrain is the same as the gasoline counterpart and can be serviced by most mechanics. Cyber_lot. Only the CNG fuel system requires specially trained service technicians.
There may be tax credits/deductions available for CNG vehicle owners and for the purchase of a Phil Fuelmaker (check with IRS and state tax authorities)
Be the first person in your town to sport a CNG ride. Cyber_lot Almost always a conversation starter when you open the trunk!

Condition

Drivetrain

Engine starts up and runs strong. Only 77k miles. NO knocks, NO smoke, NO dripping engine leaks. Underside of engine is dry as you can see in the pics. Transmission shifts into and through all gears as it should. Cruises at highway speed. At idle there is an occasional rattle against the floor from the exhaust I believe. Nothing falling off or anything major, just mentioning it. The 5.4L Triton V8 is one of the most durable and efficient 8cyl engines Ford produced and should easily last 300K+ miles with proper maintenance. This was a fleet maintained vehicle with regular servicing, including oil changes at proper intervals.

Exterior

Paint has most of its factory shine as you can see. No major/large dents or rot on the body. There are dings, scrapes, scratches, and minor blemishes all around the body. Most of the scratches were from the removal of decals. The edge of the driver side door and fender is a little wrinkled (see pic). Door opens and closes fine. Overall the body is straight. Please keep in mind this is not a showroom new but in average condition for a work van and a vehicle of this age.

Interior

Interior is in fair condition with average wear. There is some wear in the fabric on the left edge of the driver seat. Rubber floor is in good condition with no major or excessive wear. There are some scuffs on the plastic interior panels, mostly on the engine cover, as you can see in the pics. The volume button on the radio is loose. Interior is fresh and clean and has been detailed. A/C blows cold and heat blows hot.

Wheels and Tires

· Tires have approx 50%+ tread remaining. Matching set of factory Ford hubcaps.

CNG System

I have fueled up with CNG and not observed any leaks. Everything looks to be in order and system holds pressure as it should.

I have test driven this vehicle over 20 miles. I have tried to describe the condition to the best of my ability but this is merely a guideline and repairs may be required. I do recommend having this vehicle shipped due to the limited availability of CNG stations in some areas. As I recommend to all my customers, you should have your mechanic look over any newly purchased vehicle before extensive use. I have tried to list as many details about this vehicle as I can, including known defects. There may be deficiencies that I am not aware of so buyers are encouraged to inspect in person. FAILURE OF PROSPECTIVE BUYERS TO INSPECT VEHICLE OR ASK FOR CLARIFICATION ON CONDITION WILL NOT CONSTITUTE NON-DISCLOSURE OF DEFECTS OR CONDITION ON SELLERS PART. This was previously a fleet/lease vehicle and may have greater wear and tear than private vehicles. If you are local, I encourage and welcome you to come down and test drive the car for yourself or have an independent inspection completed PRIOR to bidding. There will be no price adjustments or cancellation of sale for failure to do so. I am happy to answer any questions so feel free to e-mail me or call.

Ford F-150 bumps Camry from top of Cars.com American Made Index

Tue, 25 Jun 2013

With July 4th just around the corner, what better time could there be for Cars.com to announce that the Ford F-150 is the Most American car of 2013? This may be especially true since it was the Toyota Camry, a car produced by a company based in Japan, that had held the top spot from 2009 to 2012.
Cars.com compiles its Most American list by considering the amount of parts each vehicle uses that come from America, where it's final assembly takes place and how many units per year are sold. "While the assembly point and domestic parts content of the F-150 didn't change from 2012-2013, vehicle sales are responsible for bumping the F-150 to the top spot," according to Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief of Cars.com.
As far as automakers go (as opposed to individual models), Toyota retains the top spot it held in 2012, with General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Honda (in that order) rounding out the list. The motivation behind this list each year, according to Olsen, is "to help car shoppers understand that 'American-Made' extends beyond just the Detroit three" and because "a study we conducted in 2012 indicated that 25 percent of shoppers surveyed preferred to buy American."

After Years Of Delays, Rear Visibility Requirements Move Closer To Reality

Fri, Jan 3 2014

Regulations that would require automakers to improve rear-view visibility on all new cars and light trucks are nearing completion after six years of delays. The U.S. Department of Transportation sent its proposed rear-visibility rules to the Obama administration for review on Christmas Day. The White House Office of Management and Budget now must finalize the regulations. The rule are intended to minimize the risk of pedestrian deaths from vehicles in reverse, a type of accident that disproportionately affects children. Already in 2014, two children have died from cars backing over them, driven in each case by the children's father. Specifics of the Transportation Department's proposal are not available during the review, but the rules are expected to compel automakers to install rear-view cameras as mandatory equipment on all new vehicles. That's what safety advocates have wanted all along. Thought they were pleased the proposed ruling had finally been issued, there was some worry Friday the final rules would omit the rear-view camera mandate. "We're encouraged, but we're also a little concerned about speculation the rear-view camera may not be in there," said Janette Fennell, the president and founder of Kids and Cars, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting children in and around vehicles. "I'm wondering where that might be coming from." On Thursday, The Automotive News had reported the possibility the new standards could offer an alternative to rear-view cameras, such as redesigned mirrors, that improved visibility. The Office of Management and Budget typically completes its reviews of new rules in 90 days, although that can be extended. OMB officials said Friday they do not comment on pending rules. The intent of the rules is to enhance rear visibility for drivers and prevent pedestrian deaths. Approximately 200 pedestrians are backed over in the United States each year, according to estimates from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Accidents Mostly Affect Children Roughly half the victims are children younger than age five. A government analysis concluded approximately half the victims -– 95 to 112 -Â– could be saved with new regulations. Yet the rules have arrived at a glacial pace. President George W. Bush signed legislation that had been passed with bipartisan Congressional support in 2008. But automakers have fought the idea of adding rear-view cameras, saying it is too expensive.

Recharge Wrap-up: Grimsel electric car breaks acceleration world record, electric Ford Raptor ATV debuts

Sun, Nov 16 2014

An all-electric version of the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is now available... as an ATV. Made by Caddyshack Golf Cars, it features officially licensed Ford badging borrowed from the super-macho pickup. It has a lifted chassis with leaf springs in the front and rear, hydraulic shocks and off-road tires. Powered by a 48-volt motor, it can do 0-25 mph in 2.9 seconds. Range is an estimated 30 miles - plenty to get you through 18 of the most rugged holes of golf you've ever played. Caddyshack also offers other miniature electric Fords, including a Shelby GT500, Shelby Cobra and 50th Anniversary Mustang. Read more at Green Car Reports. Lexus takes a crack at the BMW i3 in a new video from Funny or Die. In the decidedly anti-EV film, a group of guys drives to Las Vegas for a "dad-chelor party" in a Lexus CT 200h and a BMW i3. The Lexus hybrid makes it to Sin City without any problems, while the BMW's occupants need to make several lengthy stops to charge along the way, missing much of the fun. The video lampoons the inherent range limitations of the EV (the BMW group ends up driving slowly through the desert with no AC or radio to save energy), all in a well produced, if somewhat misguided, short comedy film. Perhaps they should have considered the i3 with a range extender? See the video below, or read more at Green Car Reports. Students from ETH Zurich and Lucerne University have set a new EV acceleration world record. Their "Grimsel" racing car was able to zoom from 0-100 kph (0-62.137 mph) in just 1.785 seconds in less than 30 meters (98.425 feet), crushing the previous record of 2.134 seconds. Even more impressive is that the Grimsel was built by the students themselves, as part of the Formula Student team at the Academic Motorsports Club Zurich. The car weighs just 370 pounds and provides 200 horsepower and 1,202 pound feet of torque from the four hub motors. The Grimsel uses traction control to manage torque for maximum acceleration. See the record acceleration run in the videos below or read more at Gizmag, at Electric Autosport or in the press release from ETH Zurich below. 'grimsel' breaks world record The 'grimsel' electric racing car today broke the previous world record for acceleration in electric cars. The vehicle accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.785 seconds in under 30 metres. The new record was set by students from ETH Zurich and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, who also designed and built the vehicle.
